The Hot Wheels Racing Club members included Mickey Barnes, an apprentice mechanic; Mickey's girlfriend, Ardeth; Kip, the son of an African ambassador; and Tank Mallory, the mechanic at Wheeler Motors, a garage run by Jack's father. Doc Warren, a veteran mechanic, also belonged to the Hot Wheels Club as an honorary member and mentor. The Hot Wheels Racing Club hung out at Mother's Soda Shop, operated by Mother O'Hare.
A rival car club, Dexter's Demons, was led by Dexter Carter. Dexter had been banned from the Hot Wheels Club due to his reckless behavior. Each show typically climaxed in a wild race in which the Hot Wheels won. To offset any bad influences that the wild racing may have had on the young viewers, each show ended with educational driving tips.
